  1. Update: did some work on the motor it turned out good.
  2. First thing I built is the engine and the kit comes with the tbi 350 and in 1998 they used a fuel injected vortec 5.7 so I am modifying the kit motor to look like the vortec version.
  3. I am starting with the amt 1990 sportside pickup for the engine and chassis.
  4. Here is the start to my 98 k1500 project I've been planning since August amd finally got some kits. It is going to be a kit bashed and hopefully high-ish detailing. It is a replica of my cousin's first truck.
  5. I checked the site and found a stock 350 but still the same as the kit motor as it is tbi and not fuel injected. I figure I will just modify the kit engine.
  6. I am working on a 1998 chevrolet k1500. I am doing a full detail model and am trying to find how to build the motor. The kit has a 350 throttle body injected motor but I need the vortec fuel injected version. I also would like to detail the motor and the kit motor is somewhat soft on details. Should I find another engine or modify the kit engine to be fuel injected? Let me Know
  7. I did a kitbash of the amt 1996 dually c3500 and amt c1500 sportside. When I opened the box for the c1500 I thought Wow this looks really small! It actually scales out to 1/26th scale.
  8. Thank you for the advice everyone. I was a young child when I built this so it isn't the best. I am attached to this model as it was one of my first. Yes it is 13 layers of paint they were thick layers at that. There was no primer or clear coat. I will try stripping and scribing it. What do yall think about a rebuild thread? Let me know.
  9. I was looking at old model pictures when I found my charger project. It looked as good as I remembered in the photos but when I got it out I remembered it was in shambles all the paint peeled off or crackled so I repainted it about 13 times. I recently sprayed some primer on and was wondering is this body saveable?
  10. I Am Trying To Find The Old Revell 1/16th Scale Swamp Monster Truck. I Think It Is A 1986 Kit. There Are A Few On Ebay But The Prices Are Ridiculously High. 200-500 Dollars Is Astronomical.
  11. Did you ever finish the diorama?
  12. Looks Great! I Like The Front License Plate.
  13. It Would Be Cool To See You Rebuild It. Maybe You Could Do A Custom Job.
  14. I tried doing that and I broke the tabs. It is certainly glued together.
  15. A Few Days Ago I Bought A 1997 AMT Dually Promo Model And I Am Trying To Carefully Take It Apart And I Got The Chassis Off And The Interior Tub Seems To Be Super Glued Into It Or Something. I Have A Feeling I'm Going To Break All The Tabs In It Can Someone Explain How To Do It Without Breaking It.
  16. Update: I got the truck painted and put together now all it needs is a few things such as tires. Don't mind the extreme camber I'm going to fix it
  17. This is going to get hated on but honestly I like the carolina squat mod on trucks it looks cool but like many mods serve no purpose or advantages.
  18. I'm trying to find all the parts from the amt c1500 stepside except the body and interior. I need the 350 engine and chassis and chassis parts. Axle,suspension,engine,gas tank. I do not need the wheels and tires.
  19. A few days ago I started working on this amt 1996 snap fast tahoe. I have done a 6 inch suspension lift and other custom parts. These tires are only a mock up I will be ordering some larger mud tires.
